These are tough times and everyone in the music business realizes this. Many have taken the time to dedicate a song, performance, or more for the late Christina Grimmie and the Orlando shooting victims.

Christina was a huge fan of Twenty One Pilots and had let it be known that her favorite song by them was “Doubt.” The band dedicated that song’s performance at a show to her.

Kesha, Selena Gomez, Charlie Puth, and Adele have also dedicated a song or performance to those victims.
